A 19-year-old has collapsed and died on holiday after losing his life to an undiagnosed heart condition. Daniel Smyth was unaware he had a condition but collapsed on a family beach holiday in Bulgaria last week.
A post-mortem examination has now found the student had cardiac arrhythmia, an irregular heartbeat. Daniel's cousin Ellen Devenney-Adams told the Mirror: "He had a heart condition, which he did not know about. It was a ticking time bomb basically because it was inevitable, it just happened to occur when he was on holiday."
Daniel had gone to bed early on Saturday night feeling ill and woke in the early hours. He went into the bathroom, but collapsed, smashing into and breaking part of the toilet, shower door and sink.
